back pain around bra line

Hi everyone!So far my second trimester has been great. However, I have an almost constant pain in my back. It feels like it's right on my bra strap especially on my right side. The dr didnt really give me any advice, just the number for a physical therapist. I tried a massage & it didn't help. The only thing that helps is laying down. Does anyone else have this problem??! What have you done for it?

I've had constant back pain... A chiropractor came into work and I asked him if he could work on pregnant people. He said yes! I was thrilled! Sometimes you need more than a massage and I can't wait to go see him!

Yes, YEs, YES! Â I am having this EXACT problem. Â Sitting makes it a million times worse, laying down is the only thing that helps (also, doing the yoga pose cat/cow helps a lot temporarily). Â I also asked my midwife, she said it could be the new weight of my boobs, but since they haven't really grown much I don't think that's it. Â I also didn't get a whole lot of suggestions, other than a chiropractor which I'm not really into. Â I was wondering if PT or massage would help. Â

It's awful - I was on a 5 hour plane flight this weekend and it almost killed me - I spent 85% of the flight walking or just standing beside my seat. Â I really hope it improves over the course of the pregnancy, but I'm guessing it's just going to get worse :(Â

Sorry I don't have any other advice, I do think yoga is helping me somewhat (I do a prenatal yoga class 1-2 times a week), and staying off my butt as much as possible (which is almost impossible since I have a desk job). Â

Good luck!

I have the exact same thing, and it's awful! Sometimes it's so bad I can't even concentrate at work! I've been meaning to try prenatal yoga to see if it helps, but it hurts so badly by the time I get home that I just can't make myself do anything except lay on the couch! I've been trying ice packs and a heating pad, and those help temporarily.

I had the same pain for about two weeks. I think it had to do with a shift in my posture. It eventually got better but the only things that helped were lying down and massage. I will cross my fingers that yours goes away too.

My dear friend was having the exact same pains and she bought a bra extender to make her bra just get a little bit wider. Her bra wasn't even that tight, but sure enough her back started feeling better overnight once she started wearing the extender. I think you can get them at Motherhood Maternity, but I'm sure you can also get them online if you Google it. Hope that helps!!!

I have been having the same exact problem for about a month now, it gets to be so painful! Like you, the only thing that helps it's laying down. I usually hurt on my bra line but on the left side. My only solution is to either switch positions or lay down. When I am at work I have to get up and walk around but the pain does not go away. I hope you find a solution soon! :)

So I have had this same problem for about 10 weeks now. I finally found a massage therapist to help me out. The problem actually starts in our rear ends ladies. Because everything is shifting and expanding, the muscles and tendons that join in your hip/pelvic area have become strained. If you can find someone to release the tension in the butt region it will help tremendously. But I will warn you, when I get it done it is extremely painful. It's weird cause I have no pain there regularly, it all is deferred to my middle back, but the tension and knots definitely originate in my hip area. I hope this helps :)

I've been there too. The chiropractor helped for a few days but it didn't last long. I tried several different bra's to no relief. I didn't find relief until I ordered a mini belly cradle. It's amazing what a 4 inch wide piece elastic around your belly can help your back feel better. It's best $15 I've spent so far this pregnancy.
